The
Tarantula’s bite has made it quite famous, but little do people know
that the little barbed hairs on this spider’s legs are its main
defense. They can be quite painful when brushed into an enemy’s eyes
and skin.

The Peabody’s docents will come to your
public event with their educational kits. For more information contact
the Volunteer Office at 203.432.3731 or peabody.volunteers@yale.edu.
